search and link itself to the default zone that is set on the AppleTalk router, if

If no any zone exists, the print server itself displays the zone name as an
asterisk (*) in the current AppleTalk Status of the print server in the web

Node ID. For example: ATALK_PS-40EEED-1. You may also change the <ATALK_PS> to
a name you like for identification purpose in this option. The print server will append the last
six digits to the name you specify.
